Printers defaulting to red

I have 3 separate printers on 3 different macs and I have noticed a bug. When I print via USB, the colors are accurate. When I print the same file (via sharing) on the same printer it prints the entire document in red ink.
This is repeatable and occurs with the following hardware:
Canon i860 on eMac running 10.4.11
Epson 777 on Intel mac Mini running 10.5.2
Epson 740i on C2D Macbook Pro running 10.5.2
Little help?
Jeff

Thnx for the reply. My only thought is that you could have different versions of drivers on the client compared to the host. This could easily be the case for the Tiger eMac sharing to the Leopard Mac's, but I would expect the Leopard Mac's to have the same versions.
I don't think ColorSync is at fault, but then I would expect there to be something common with all three Mac's to give the same result. And I don't think this is a bug, but more like a problem with your environment. I certainly have Tiger and Leopard sharing their printers with each other and don't get this result.
Did this ever work for you or has it always been like this?

Printing a Crystal Report changes the printers default tray setting every

Hey,
Hopefully someone have experienced this in the past,
I am printing a Crystal Report, and in windows the printer has the tray auto as the setting. When I print from word, mspaint, or notepad, works perfect.
But when I print via Crystal Report, it changes the deafult printers tray setting every time.
Anyone have any idea, if there's a hotfix or something for this, I have problems at the client machine.
Best Regards,
Love

I dont have much idea about CR 8.
I would suggest you to try with No printer option.
Try with this also:
On Page setup click on printer ->Properties->Apply settings for default printer.

Flash CC Color Picker defaults to Red Channel every time opened

I recently upgraded to Flash CC, and am having an issue when opening the Color Picker to adjust a palette color.
When the Color Picker opens, the Hue radio button is selected (H), but the visual palette selection on the left is showing the color spectrum as if the Red Channel (R) was selected. I have to click on the "H" radio button every time the Color Picker is opened to refresh that selectable area on the left to show the correct information instead of the Red spectrum.
In previous versions (ie Flash Pro CS5) it would remember which palette system you use (Hue, Saturation, etc.) and always use that when you re-opened the color picker. Now this is forcing me to reselect my preferred palette every time I open the color picker. This is not just happening when I restart Flash -- this is every single time the picker is opened, within the same session, within the same document, seconds apart.
All of the computers in the office with CC licenses are also seeing this behavior. Is this happening for everyone, and is there a solution to have it correctly show the palette system I've selected?
I'm using Flash CC on Windows 8.1.

Is it possible to remove Adobe PDF 8.0 from the list in "Add Printers"

When I add a printer on my system, there is a printer named "Adobe PDF 8.0" on the Add Printer list. I believe that this is a remnant left over from previous versions of the operating system (from Leopard or so). Can this item be deleted from this list? It isn't functional at all, and I'd rather not have it cluttering up the list. I've searched through the system looking for anything that could be causing this item to be listed there, but there appears to be no .PPD file or any entry in a .plist file that I can find. I've seen other people asking about this printer, but more from the perspective of "how to get it working" or "how do I print to PDFs now?". That isn't my question. I just want to nuke this item from my "Add Printers" list like it never happened. Thanks for any leads you can offer.
See screen shot below if you are confused as to what I am talking about. The top "Adobe PDF 8.0" is from my computer. The second one is something someone is incorrectly sharing from their computer (which I will remove as soon as I get access to it).

I tried manually removing some files but still the Adobe PDF 8 appeared in the Add Printers > Default view.
I then ran the Adobe Acrobat uninstaller and this successfully stopped the Adobe PDF 8 "printer" from appearing. Thankfully the Uninstaller also created a log file that I have posted below showing all that was removed from the Mac. Note that you probably don't have all the files listed, especially if you have already removed Acrobat 8 from this Mac, but if you remove the files that are remaining then this will be sure to stop the printer from appearing.

Cannot set Windows 7 default printer in Boot Camp

I discovered today that I cannot set a default printer in Windows 7. I right click, and try to make one of the printers default but there is no check mark. One of the programs that I use says I do not have a printer installed.
I can print to my printers using Word by selecting the printer that I want but cannot select a default in control panel.
If I access Windows programs using a VM Fusion, the program that says there is no printer installed in boot camp, does not give be this message and I can select a printer. BTW, I have never been able to select a "default printer" using VM Fusion.
The only thing unusual is I had to reactivate Windows for no apparent reason last week and I cannot select all of the Themes available in the personalize menu.
It is difficult to pinpoint when the printer issue started because I mainly access my Windows programs through VM Fusion. I am guessing the changes happened when I had to reactivate Windows
I am away from my iMac currently and was wondering if anyone has experienced this and/or have a suggestion.?
Thanks,
Roy

Update.
Apparently this is a Windows Registry issue. Looks as if there is a VM Fusion driver set as default (thinprint??) I cannot delete or modify this registry key. A new profile solves this issue and I will have to copy everything over to the new profile, if I cannot get this registry key issue solved. I will post on a Microsoft board to see if there is a solution.

Table Problems (Cell Shading and Default Format from EDD and Template)

I have two problems related to tables using Structured FrameMaker (Version 10), whilst in-processing XML.
I've designed two different table formats in my Template; Format A with black shading - 30% for THead and 3% for row, and Format B with blue shading - 30% for THead and 3% for row.
If I create a structured document from scratch and insert a table, I get the required Black (30%) and Black (3%) shading.   If I then insert an informaltable, I get the required Blue (30%) and Blue (3%) shading.
Although I've given the two table types different default formats in the EDD - Format A for table and Format B for informaltable - when I open the XML file (normally) from within FrameMaker I notice that all the tables default to Format A (black shading).   When I then import my EDD table should stay as Format A and informaltable should change to Format I.   This doesn't happen; they all stay at Format A.
I can change informaltable by manually applying Format I, this worksI. Obviously, with long documents which might have hundreds of tables we can't afford the time and manpower to do such things one at a time by hand.
Do any of the Structure gurus have a fix for this, or can someone give me a hint of what I might be doing wrong?
The second, but related question was a general one.   I see that Adobe says
"Tables
FrameMaker table formats are only partially integrated with the structure model. The content of
a FrameMaker table is always fully structured, but the control over cell border ruling is limited and
there is no structure format control over cell shading."
I believe it could be useful to apply cell shading on an individual cell basis (although I'm not sure whether this is possible at the XML level - where someboddy might give an element an attribute of, say, shading (with options, such as, green, red, blue, yellow all at, say, 30%, with a default of red, for example.
I've seen that there has been mention of plugins to achieve cell shading in structure; does anyone have an experience with such things, more to the point, can anyone point me in the right direction?   I don't mind paying fo a solution which I can implement myself.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
Regards
Chris

Hi,
could you please provide some details on the EDD, RWR and some example XML?
My wild guess goes into the direction of the RWR not containing enough information that get written out into XML.
We're using table formatting with shaders too (using an attribute to control the specific formatting of each table) and it works like a charm in FM9 and FM11 when roundtripping.
The context rules are used in the table group (i.e. tgroup element). This might already solve the issue .
Cheers Alex

LV Bug? - Blink Background color only red after build

It seems no matter what I choose for a Tools/Options/Environment/Blink Background color during debug (which works perfectly), the color will always revert back to the default of red after I build the application. I realize I can choose the colors but I would like to know why the blink color reverts back to red when the application is built. I am running LV2011 but I have noticed this in many of the previous versions as well. (I have tried changing the color from the project level as well as the debug level.)
Solved!
Go to Solution.

j.masse wrote:
To smercurio_fc - correct me if I am wrong but there are many things in the Tools\Options catagories that are built into the executable either directly or through the .ini file. It appears to me that the blinking colors are the only thing that doesn't make it into the build or the .ini file.
That would be incorrect. There are LOTS of things that are in the labview.ini file that are not in the application's default .ini file. Most (if not all) of the Tools->Options settings are saved in the labview.ini file.
Also, what is this 'build spec' that I may specify the color?
I was referring to the "Advanced" page where you can specify a custom .ini file to include. Please read the documentation on the application builder.

Set TonerSaveMode=On as default printing preference, drag drop PDF to dock

Printing large number of PDF documents by dragging and dropping them to the printer dock icon causes the documents to be printed with default settings (TonerSaveMode=Off) according to (com.apple.print.custompresets.forprinter.BrotherMFC7840W.plist, com.apple.print.lastUsedSettingsPref Dictionary, com.apple.print.preset.settings Dictionary, com.apple.print.JobInfo.PMJobName String) despite:
1. whether "use last settings" are configured in the printing dialog of Preview.app
2. and despite wether the printer itself using its web interface is configured to have Toner Save Mode to be on.
And as it is not allowed to overwrite "default" settings preference, as a result there is no way to set default preferences for a Mac OS X configured printer, other than the paper size.
Is there a way to set a default preference TonerSaveMode=On for a Brother MFC-7840 device (for instance by manually editing the printers default preferences .plist, could you then point me to the exact file to edit)?
PS - The only goal is to drag and drop files to the printer its dock icon, and print these PDF documents with "TonerSaveMode=On" (or "Duplux" or "UsingSpecificTray" or "Resolution300Dpi" etcetera.)

Thanks for pointing me to Cups Admin on localhost:631
The only problem was that the username/password combination would not be accepted. Cups error_log returned: cupsdAuthorize: pam_authenticate() returned 9 (authentication error)!
My short username was easily found with terminal command > whoami
After temporary setting my password to an 8 character length numeric value, the user/password combination was finally accepted and default "Toner Save" = on could be set.

Is unbreakable kernel still the default during an upgrade to 5.6?

Two questions:
1) When using the unbreakable kernel, do applications need to be re-certified?
2) When you upgrade from previous OEL version (5.5, 5) to 5.6, is the unbreakable kernel enabled by default ?
Thanks
--Sai

Avi,
This is fully explained in the 5.6 Release Notes (http://oss.oracle.com/el5/docs/RELEASE-NOTES-U6-en.html) and both the UEK and the RH-compatible kernel are installed, but the system boots into UEK by default. Maybe I was misremembering an internal email about this; thanks for the correction.
Kernel and Driver Updates
Oracle Linux 5.6 ships with following three sets of kernel packages
    * Unbreakable Enterprise kernel [kernel-uek-2.6.32-100.26.2.el5
          o Only available on x86_64 (64bit) platform
          o This kernel will be installed by default
    * Red Hat compatible Kernel [kernel-2.6.18-238.el5].
          o This kernel is installed by default.
    * Red Hat compatible Kernel with bug fixes added by Oracle [kernel-2.6.18-238.0.0.0.1.el5]
          o This kernel, available on x86 and x86-64 , can only be installed manually (see below for details)
Note: Both Unbreakable Enterprise kernel and Red Hat compatible kernel are installed on 64 bit (x86_64) platform and the system boots with Unbreakable Enterprise kernel by default. If needed /etc/grub.conf can be modifed to make the system boot with Red Hat compatible kernel by default.

German-Localized Default Color Labels

We are working on an integration with Bridge CS3/CS4 that supports multiple languages, including German. However, since I do not have a German-localized version of Bridge, I am unable to confirm what the default Label names are. Does anyone have a German version that can list the default colors (Red, Yellow, Purple, etc.) with their corresponding Label values? I want to embed the appropriate XMP values externally, so that German users see the correct values for the default label names.
I am cross-posting this topic in the Windows forum, too.
Thanks!

Davink,
Sigh… Obviously you don't speak a damned word of German, or you would have understood the attachment and the screenshot I provided.
You also didn't read my post carefully.
You asked about CS3 and CS4. There are no color designations for either one of those versions in any language. You need to to go back to CS2 for that.
Yes, the English values for the labels are used as defaults in the German version until you change that in Preferences to whatever suits you. Those values are user-configurable on the menu in ALL language versions, including the English version, through Bridge Preferences. No native German values are even suggested. As examples »Sonnenuntergang«, »Blumen« and »Tiere« ("sunset", "flowers" and "animals" respectively) are given in the quoted instructions. That's what the text and the attachment confirm, to wit:
Zunächst verwendet Bridge fantasielos englische Bezeichnungen… (TRANSLATION: As default, Bridge uses English designations in an unimaginative way…) für die Farben: Etwa Red für die rote Kennzeichnung, Yellow für die gelbe etc.
Hier setzen Sie nun Ihre eigenen Ausdrücke ein. In die Zeile für Rot schreiben Sie zum Beispiel »Sonnenuntergang«. Die gelbe Beschriftung nennen wir »Blumen«, und Blau soll für »Tiere« stehen.
The same principle applies to the Label designations in CS4 as per the screenshot provided above and repeated here:
Your French translations will be meaningless and utterly useless the instant the user configures them to suit his purposes and workflow.
davink wrote:
though the only way to be sure is verify that you've installed on a German OS, rather than just change your Bridge language preference.
Hell, no! It's not the only way. That's why I provided the applicable text and an attachment to shows you what the User Guide in German says. Changing the language in Bridge Preferences shows you EXACTLY waht the German user sees on his German computer running a German OS.
Anyway, I'm attaching the German CS4 Bridge/Version Cue Help file to this post (sorry, that didn't work; it's waaaaay too large a file) for me this exchange is over. Good luck.

Does Apple list available printers that work with AirPort Express?

Just bought an AirPort Express hoping that I could print wirelessly with my HP 1350 All-in-One, and it won't work. Found out after the fact that my printer doesn't support USB wireless printing.
I'm looking for a basic color printer to work with AirPort Express for wireless printing by other family members, and I'll continue to use my HP 1350 with USB for scanning and OCR functions.
Does Apple provide a list of recommended printers that will work with AirPort Express?
Kevin
PowerBook G4 1.5 Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.8) 1 GB DDR SDRAM

No Apple doesn't any more.
I have been maintaining a community created list.
http://tech.ifelix.net/1013.html
This is an unofficial list of USB printers which are are compatible with the AirPort Extreme Base Station and Airport Express. Printers in bold have been added to the original list that Apple provided.
Printers in dark red are in fact the only printers I have personally tested.
Please also note that due to changes in the firmware of both the Airport Extreme base station and the introduction of the Airport Express some printers which are in this list may no longer in fact be compatible.

Not able save printer defaults as the scale is always 150%

All my printers default to a scale of 150%. Whatever i do will not save and changes any printer settings either the defaults or custom settings. Can anyone help me please.

Set the default drag cursor

In my Flex app, I am using the dragManager.
When a component doesn't have the "acceptDrag" set, the
cursor changes to the pointer with a red "X".
I am wanting to override the default system red x cursor with
a custom cursor.
I know that I can go into each component, catch the drag
enter event and set the custom cursor, but am not wanting to go
down that path as I have many components on the canvas.
Is there a way to override the default cursor in Flex 3 to
show a custom cursor?

Maybe DragManager rejectCursor style?

Deskjet 3050 J610 will not install on Mavericks or new Router

I have had a deskjet 3050 J610 for a couple years and it has worked fine with our MacBook Pro (with the exception of updates) . We recently restored our MacBook and added Mavericks. We also have a new netgear modem/router. We can not connect the printer to our network or to the laptop wirelessly. Here is what has happened so far after spending hours attempting everything we could find online with no sucess......
-I can print from the Mac with a USB cable connected to printer
-I've restored the printers default settings
-Printed the HP Network Configuration Page and it shows our Network
It says my HP printer cannot find the access point.
Everything passed except network name found....this failed
Network status-Offline
embedded web server-http://0.0.0.0 I can't even get to the webpage
network name (SSID)-HPJ610a.0798A0
ip address-not applicable
The blue light for wireless flashes on printer.
When I go to Wireless Menu it says wireless radio is on.
My next option is Settings, Under Settings I have Disable, WPS and Defaults.
Under WPS I get Push Button or PIN......neither worked.
Printer DOES NOT have a wireless setup wizard!
I have checked for updates on the Mac and do not have any (Original CD not compatible with Mavericks). When I go to System Preferences-Print/Scan, it shows the printer as disabled. I tryed downloading software & drivers from HP's website, but when I go to my Applications menu, there is not an HP folder/icon.
PLEASE HELP!!

Hi,
Currently a full feature software is not available for your products for Mavericks, however there are some other workarounds to connect the printer to your network.
Please follow these steps to create a temporary ad-hoc connection and then set the wireless connection through the printer's EWS page:
On the printer click on Wireless, then select Reset Wireless.
Turn the printer Off and back On.
If the wireless light is not blicking, click the wireless button and turn the Wireless Radio On.
From your Mac click the Wireless icon and then on Join Other Networks.
Click on Show network and connect to the printer SSID which includes J610 as part of its name.
Note: Allow 1-2 minutes to fully establish the temporary connection.
Open Safary, then click the Bonjour menu and select the listed Deskjet 3050.
Note: if there is no Bonjour option at the top menu, click Safary > Preferences > Advanced and check both of the Include Bonjour options at that screen. click OK and the Bonjour menu will appear.
Go to Network / Wireless and follow the Wireless Setup Wizard to connect the printer to your home network.
On your Mac click the WiFi icon and reconnect the Mac to your home network.
Now both your Mac and the printer are connected to your network, go to Printers & Scanners and add the printer by clicking the plus sign.

Shlomi
